Thank you! My salsa went up two notches just watching. Now if I can DO all that, it will go up 20 notches.
You speak easily of the secrets that many salsa teachers really...don't...say...anything...about!
Really deep n amazingly beautiful sharing as & always by both of you, for any latin dancers for taking her/his dance to nice & perfect ways to another levels with whole new beauty & basic in perfect place. All your classes are like purely authentic latin dance skill sharing, full of graceful dance styles & tips with each small little details - like dance - bible & i feel it's must for all latin dance begineer & for all those regular dancers as well , who all really wana improve their dance on floor to super cool n easy fun ways to learn n njoy latin dances. With lots of love & light from India.
I think one of the most difficult parts of being accused of back leading is the lack of connection which leads to anticipation or the follow not knowing steps they actually know when there is no tension or push/pull to judge from. So both partners get nervous.
Very good explanation of the technical rules, with just the right amount of humour thrown in! More to remember , but more chance of getting it right, for when I next go on the dance floor! Thank you.
So well explained; ive actually shared it with my fellow dancers... Thank you so much 😍
Everything on point. Only other suggestion that's simple but makes a huge difference is for ladies to use ball of their feet and off their heels (brakes).

You are SO Great. So happy to find Your instructions..
Thank you
This was beautiful, man.
I am apparently a natural dancer when it comes to salsa. I say that cause I've never had formal dance lessons. I've learned the basics from movies growing up in the 90s and I have that natural ability to catch rhythm.
Have been complimented much on my dancing..but I notice that maybe I can be better by learning formally. The steps. Especially since I haven't been on the dancing scene for about 4yrs now. About to jump back in.
Most of these tips I feel like I intuitively knew, but to see them broken down in a very engaging and easy way makes me that much more confident to get out there and have fun again.
Not to mention my wife, who has never danced in this way is learning a lot as well.
I appreciate all your videos.
Thank you
Hi Agon, that is fantastic and a great gift. Most people that learned the natural way might FEEL the music in their hearts and move from there but dancing with a partner does require some technical skills. Happy that you liked the video.
@@salsaventura definitely does. I can think back on a lot of fun I had, but see where it could've been a lot better had I known more technical details
oh wow, that's a lot of good tips!
Thanks for your reaction. On our website I cover a lot of these issues while going through the program. You can check it out at Salsaventura.tv. And ofcourse ... more to come ;-)

Great job. You sound very Dutch and the buildings in the back resemble Dutch architecture. Utrecht maybe? ;)
Hi, almost ;-). We are located in a lot of major cities in Holland but this video was recorded in the Hague.
Salsaventura would you perchance happen to also be located in Delft ? ;)
These videos are the best!! Thank you
Thank you so much! More to come....
Really great tips! And explanations easy to understand. Could you do a Bachata lesson video. Thumbs up and thank you very much:)
Bachata will be coming soon!
Excellent video!
Thank you! Highly appreciated!
👍👏🌹🙏
Sorry to disagree with your explanation of a cross body lead. The purpose of a cross body lead is for the man to check out the woman. Losing contact visual contact with the woman is not good Latin dancing. But whom I to say. The former Undefeated World Salsa Champion.
Dear Isaac,
How are you my man? Happy to see you are still around! Bueno, what should I say... we never get a second change to make a first impression my friend so I totally respect your comment. The good thing about Salsa that it is "una baile de la calle" that was born without strict rules. So we can each have our opinion. I have my own idea about the purpose of a cross body lead and it is total different one then yours I must say.
Besided that; the true master will never have to claim himself a master. Same goes for "World Salsa Champion". Becoming a world champion all depends on the competitors that join I guess.
@@salsaventura I agree with your take on looking before doing a cross body lead. As a follow, it is very annoying when a lead does a CBL and crashes me into other people! For performance and competition, it's okay to maintain eye contact with your partner throughout the movement, but for social dancing you always have to be aware of your surroundings and respect the space of others.
Totally agree. On a crowded dance floor, leader also has to be traffic controller. If I am about to do a CBL and notice there is no space or someone is about to come into our space, I’ll put the brakes on and send the lady back. If I don’t like getting slammed into, think how awful it is for the ladies.
I agree with the fact of loosing eye contact for a moment, when you leave the line of the follower.
We are dancing social, i.e. In a crowd.
Sometimes, you even get awkward moments with beginner ladies who do not drop eye contact during CBL and are actually walking around you instead of walking on their line, just because they do not look where they are going to.
Starring at your partner 100pc of the time can also make him/her feel uncomfortable.
Loosing eye contact during an instant is part of the style of in-line salsa, IMHO.
Beside that, there is nothing worse than a partner who never looks at you during 4min of dance, of course.
One note, i think people do not look at each other enough when doing shines.
"The former Undefeated World Salsa Champion" mommy I'm thirsty x100 🤣
